looking for automated WMV->MPEG solution

[system one]

hello all

i need a software that can do encoding to "wmv" from "mpeg".
that is not a big deal, i know.
the big deal is that i need a software like that, that also have schedule.
so for example i want to set it to take a mpeg file from specific folder, encode it to wmv and put it in a different specific folder.
i need it to work like that 24 hour a day without the need of a human touch.

it doesn't have to be a freeware.

two things that come to my mind:
1st: Use mencoder to convert from wmv to mpeg (Freeware)
2nd: Use WinAVI with CLI for this.

Mind you that WMV is only a container with a lot of codecs in it. Not all are supported by Mencoder for example.

Cheers,

You can use AVStoDVD. It has a batch utility that suits your request.

i think you can do that with some batch scripting, easiness will depend on a variety found in source material.

here is my try (takes avs scripts for input and delivers flv);

the nodes are hardcoded in this example, each started node does this:

1. check if there is some avs for me in all/dir01
if true then proced to 2.
else wait 30s, goto 1.

2. move the first found avs to node01/dir02 (other avs scripts will stay in dir01), start encoding

3. move encoded stuff to node01/dir03, cleanup the mess, goto 1.

(for vp6 encoding on dual-core machine you would start 2 nodes for example)

---

so my workflow with two machines was:
dual-core machine: used to make avs scripts and run one encoding node
2nd single-core machine: gigabit network to 1st machine and run one node
(basically over the day 2 nodes would be running, when i left the scene i would start node 3 on my dual-core, so 3 nodes overnight)
